After passing Chris on her way to the rooftop, she briefly stopped to acknowledge one of the tenants, Alfie. The man had a strange Bronx charm to him as he spoke, and surely she'd be a bit more inclined to engage had she not been on a mission to ascend the stairs. Pepper took note of the building's side windows showcasing a different tier of light black sky intermingled with the tangerine splash of a sunset. Hearing voices the closer she got to the rooftop, her social anxiety began to set in as she wondered how the rest of her tenants would react to her sign language. Come hell or high water, she made it a point not to speak during the entire duration of the party. She didn't want to be teased, or to an extent, thought lesser of. It was an unrealistic assumption, however her mind wouldn't give up its insecurities easily. Finally arriving at the rooftop, the most immediate notation was another tenant talking to someone just out of eyesight; gaze turned toward the wall on the other side of the doorway. Nonchalantly nodding to the individual and not quite hearing his name, she stepped through the doorway and took a brief glance at the scenery around her before tracing the man's gaze and seeing Charlotte. A wave of relief washed over Pepper as she found one familiar face. Hopefully, she thought, tonight would be the chance to get to know everyone here... and not have to treat any injuries in the process.

Sitting down at the lobby and recollecting himself, the man did a double-take toward the door and muttered "Oh, shit." It was quite dark, as evidenced by the reflective windows on the doors displaying the interior of the lobby through a notably transparent tent. Getting up from his seat, Chris began thudding up the steps and keeping to the left side of the stairwell as ascended the floors toward the rooftop of the apartment. After ascending four flights of stairs, he finally reached his destination and casually went through the doorway, nodding to Pepper as she glanced up, smile brightening. "Hey there, Peps, Company." He addressed those within earshot, his voice sounding akin to a disciplined, experienced man who prided himself on being calm and collected. Glancing around the area, he tentatively eyed the alcohol but lightly grimaced and shook his head, returning his gaze to the group.
